Wests Tigers coach Ivan Cleary says his team were wronged by the golden‑point deciding penalty that ended their giant‑killing run in a 9‑7 loss to Brisbane Broncos.

The cool boot of Broncos rookie Jamayne Isaako landed four penalty goals and a field goal to win the match for Brisbane after a tough extra‑time call against forward Robbie Rochow.

In a bitter night for the Tigers at Campbell town, star five‑eighth Benji Marshall left the ground in a moon boot and was sent for scans on an injured left ankle after he played on one leg for the last 20 minutes.

The result also brought to an end the Tigers' unbeaten season run, after they knocked off the Sydney Roosters and Melbourne in the opening two rounds.

In another match, the Bulldogs defeated the Penrith Panthers 20‑18 last night.

Today the Raiders meet the Warriors at 4pm, the Rabbitohs take on the Sea Eagles at 6.30pm while the Eels face the Sharks at 8.35 tonight.
